any xi guys in here that have downpipes installed? i'm trying to figure out where to get mine installed as it's a huge pain for the awd guys. the subframe needs to be dropped and it's pretty much impossible without a lift from what i've read. any ideas would be appreciated

I'm an Xi guy, but I don't have DPs... Good to know though! Are you in Rochester or Buffalo? If you're in Rochester, I've heard CPE is a good shop that does custom parts installs, but other than that my old performance shop went outta business :/

Jason at Black forest (across the street from the airport) does good work, might want to give him a call. He works on my dad's P car, and has worked on all kinds of exotics in his long carreer, I'm sure a set of Downpipes wouldn't be too big of a deal.

To buy the groupon today, or not to buy the groupon. My windows could use a retint - drivers window has a bubble, and it's low quality tint, I want the stuff that will keep my car cooler in the summer. The groupon is $50 for $100 worth of tinting service at CJs favorite place, the Tint Shop...

I don't have any pics, but I can snap some dirty ones today if you'd like. They're 19" VMR V710s in silver that came on my car, and they've been on there for I while, I think. One wheel was recently repaired to true a bend, and all of the wheels are starting to chip paint a bit, especially around the lug barrels. Far as I know, there aren't any bends in any wheels, but they could really use a refinish (powdercoat??). If you're interested, let me know. It'll have to wait about 6-8 weeks for my new wheels to come in once I order them, just an FYI.

Hum I was thinking about doing the same thing since I need to get tints as well!

Hey guys - I was stuck in your neck of the woods on saturday. Long story short, I needed a tow and ended up choosing these guys. Were super professional and took their time getting my car up on the flatbed without scraping.

Just in case anyone around Niagara Falls NY needs a tow, they were very helpful.

BMW assist refused to cover my tow since it was due to road debris (not covered under my plan apparently, I should have just played dumb). Also SOS button did not work - said I did not subscribe to BMW assist services (could have been due to recent software update).

I googled their info from a local store that happened to have internet access.
